 | Picture of Weaving and Flax processing tools taken at the De Locht Museum in Melderslo, Limburg, Netherlands. In the bygone days the people grew their own flax and then after processing it they did spin it on a spinning wheel to make thread. Flax is like straw and it is stiff, but after soaking and brushing it, the flax turns into a very soft fiber. After they spun it into thread they sent it to a weaver to make linen fabric for sheets, towels and clothes. |
